Sample Poems[2] Your name to the wind I bestow, And your body's white music also, In the bush, At night, I remembered you, Brimful of songs of drunkenness, I arise, In an Isfahan morning.

Under the shallow ceiling Somebody here in the red twilight Has drunk a cup; Somebody has laughed unguardedly here, Death in the scull, Musician insects With their tiny larynxes Sing of sorrow; From somewhere, The lute of a soldier, scatters the light notes In Azadi Cafe.

Arise, Arise colorless birds of flight, On the bitter coast of exile; The sadness of birds in the world Call for witchcraft With waters which not a moment remain hoisted from repeating raising, This moon, whirling the moon around my head, Drives my heart to the law of madness.

Since I grew young from the delightful cloudy hue In its jujube red umbrella of kisses; And I rose victorious, And left this realm And marched to the mysterious corners of the waves, And a butterfly Carried my red intelligence from my head With its violet and white wing Beyond adventure.
